According to Team Talk, Brighton is showing interest in acquiring Jhon Lucumi. The Premier League club, alongside others like Aston Villa and Bournemouth, is set to initiate discussions about the Colombian defender's transfer. Lucumi, who is currently with Bologna, has a release clause set at £24 million, but clubs are keen to negotiate a lower fee because his contract extends until June 2026. It is reported that Lucumi is eager to leave Bologna, which has increased the pressure on the Serie A club to secure a deal this summer. Known for his versatility as a centre-back, Lucumi's capability to handle the Premier League’s demands makes him highly desirable. Brighton's interest is part of a larger trend of interest from several English clubs such as Tottenham, Brentford, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and possibly Manchester United.
